IMO there is no point in using the OEM housings (not sure if the LED will fit anyway) and placing the LED strip inside as the price to do this compared to buying the LED (which come supplied with non OEM housing when you buy them) units with mini loom is negligible.
The link you've posted is the one I originally posted in this thread and is very helpful. Make sure you know which door controller you have as the wires will go in different places for Gen 1 & Gen 2 compared to Gen 3. I would recomend contacting one of the forum "wizards" such as Eddie-NL or Golfman to assist.

Thanks mate :)
i saw on another thread that the parts for OEM housing, repair cable and with some W5W Leds are under £30. But as you have said it depends if the LED light will fit into the housing.

^^^^
1K0 947 411 A (1K0947411A) - Door Warning Light (1 per door) are around £10 each
1J0 971 972 (1J0971972) - Connector Housing (1 per door) are around £1.00 each
Then some W5W bulbs - from anywhere for about £0.50p each (or single and multi W5W LED's can be bought from eBay from £1 each.
Some repair wire and Robert's your Dad's Brother.
So with a bit of hunting around and a trip to your local dealer you could do this (or very similar) for around £25 per pair.
(Or spend a couple of quid more and get them form BoldSport.com)

^^ Thanks dude :happy2:
Just did a price conversion on the ones from BOLD and its around £39 posted.
Did you have to pay tax on yours?
Cheers

^^^^ No tax (import duty) is due on any item bought from this region in this price band, I believe it's over £100 so no worries.
From my OP.......
For 1 pair (for a 2 door car) £40.95 inc P+P via the cheapest shipping method available.
For 2 pairs (for a 4 door car) £70.52 inc P+P (prices exclude fitting)
